Ada apa dengan Johor??

Johor ni dulu la, bagi aku adalah tempat persinggahan untuk tempat tinggal dan tempat makan before heading down to Singapore. Ewah macam selalu je turun Singapore. Setahun sekali pun susah.

Maaf ye orang Johor, dulu takde la aku minat benar lepak2 kat Johor ni. Tapi makanan Johor aku suka la, otak2 and beriyani gam I like. Masa cuti Krismas baru2 ni, kami ke Universal Studio Singapore. Tapi malas nak blog pasal tu sebab Piya demam time tu, so nak berjimba2 tu tak berapa la sangat. So during this trip, kami stopby kat Johor and I was kinda surprised to see that there’s a lot of interesting developments going on in Johor.

Ni antaranya la yang sempat aku peratikan dengan mata kasar:

a. Danga Bay Intgrated Waterfront City

Dulu aku ingatsini tempat makan je, rupanya2 dia adalah recreational park. Orang Johor silalah tampo muka aku

b. Legoland - coming soon

Kalau US ada Disneyland and Universal Studios, Singapore pun ada Universal Studio. Japan dan HongKong pun ada DisneyLand, while Korea ada Ever Land. Legoland might not as popular as other theme park out there but it is a great move for Malaysia, Johor especially.

Tapi kalau lepas ni kata lah Malaysia nak ada Disney Land pulak, buatlah kat negeri lain ye. Kedah ke? Oh baru tengok MHI tadi Sik Kedah sekarang ada ladang anggur. Tapi siapa lah nak pergi ladang anggur?


c. Johor Premium Outlets (JPO)

Ha ni la nak story, last month kami gi la ke JPO ni on the same day Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak datang untuk rasmikan pada10 December 2011. Mawi's hometown Kulai, has now had a new landmark.

Motif ingat Kulai ingat Mawi? Tak sesuwaiii. JPO is the 70th premium outlets in the world and the first in Southeast Asia. Syabas betti.

Coach outlet was super full so many people have to line up for like 10 minutes to get in. Bukannya dorang nak shopping sangat, nak survey harga rasanya. Price sini so-so la, cheaper la kot dari couch boutique kat KL tapi kalau beli online lagi murahhhh. Sempat la rembat 2 handbag, one for me and one for MIL.

Sementara tengah queue

Ini bag saya iteww ;) (opss takleh display pulak soweee)

Discounts are so-so la dekat Burberry, Levi's and Fossil. And aku tengok banyak orang jalan2 bawak GAP paperbag, so I suppose it's good. Masuksitu shopping baju Piya and anak2 buah je,untuk mak bapak budak memang tak sempat sebab ramai sangat orang.

Satu lagi mende to take note, food di food court expensive la. You may want to eat elsewhere before going to this place. Makanan takde la sedap sangat untuk tekak aku ni.

And there weren't many good choices for guys, maybe sebab Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Armani Exchange belum bukak. Tapi apa kisah, laki aku bukan penyopping tegar pun.

Sekian dimaklumkan.

Wordless wednesday #1

This entry supposed to be published last Wednesday, tapi baru Wednesday ni gua check blog rupanya entry tak dipublished. Blogger simpan buat pekasam gamaknya. Patut la takde email masuk nak approve comment. Ingatkan memang tak orang nak comment. Sentap gua.

*nanges*

Ye last week berada di kampung halaman suami terchenta cecece. Pic #1 di Pengkalan Kubur, a duty free town bersempadan dengan Kelantan-Thailand. Di sana nak shopping towel and mainan ringan2 untuk Piya. Every visit to Kota Bharu we'll make sure to pay a visit to Pengkalan Kubur. Acara wajib.

Pic #2 di Bazar Buluh Kubu masa nak shopping kaftan untuk kaum kerabat and tudung untuk adik aku. Peminat tudung bawal dia ni. Si kakaknya beli tudung gak tapi pakai masa otw nak gi semayang raya. Eh. Bazar ni perlu diperkenalkan ke lagi? Orang kata Bazar ni lebih kurang Central Market kat KL tu la.

There's another bazar next to it, Pasar Siti Khatijah. Pasar ni ada jual sayur-sayuran, ikan, ayam, pakaian, rempah2 barangan kraftangan etc. Tapi kalau nak beli batik and pakaian rasanya baik Bazar Buluh Kubu kan.

Keje aku kat KB ni duk makan dan shopping je, heaven weh. It's a well-known trick that if u speak like a Kelantanese, the prices will be much cheaper. So itulah tugas husband. Dia la buat tawar menawar sampai aku rasa nak nyorok belakang dia je sebab beriya sangat tawar menawar. Kesian tuan kedai tu.

Lantak dia la, sambil tu aku berposing dengan Piya.

Berbalik pada Kelantanese slang, I do understand what they're saying perfectly but I can only speak little. Banyak pun boleh tapi bunyi nya akan jadi macam bomoh siam.


Uish wordless la sangat. Membebel banyak dah ni. See ya!

Na na na ganu kiteeee

It's been a while and have not been updating this blog for a few days (or week?) now. I am around but I was just too busy to update and when I'm online I'm usually trying to catch up on everything else.

Tapi ye la, salah satu faktor penyumbang:

It was a long weekend last week with the Haari Wilayah + CNY holiday and I noticed tak ramai orang visit my blog, it dropped from Friday to Tuesday.

Iyelah tu, tak update camne orang nak visit ye tak?

Btw to summarize what's been happening, pls find following points:

a. Balik kampung

CNY break, bersama2 memeriahkan highway and jalan raya untuk pulang bercuti ke kampung halaman husband di KB. 4 hari 3 malam tu. Puas ler Hafiyya balik sana. Angpow pun banyak. Eh.

Untuk tidak menghampakan permintaan kawan2, meh upload pic Cik Piya skit. Tak pandang camera, baru la seni skit. Konon.

@PCB

As usual pakej la ye, ada piya dalah mummy dia. actually nak upload banyak, tapi pic aku tak banyak so tak upload la. Boleh gitu?

b. Cuti lagi

My husband need to attend course for 3 days till this Saturday at Kemaman and so, here I come. Best je, husband duk gigih berkursus, aku dengan piya duk menggunakan kemudahan hotel dengan sepenuhnya. Nak gi KT jauh sangat, nak berdua dengan piya je ni I tak konfiden ok.

Panorama dari bilik penginapan. Teka la duk hotel mana, siapa terawal betul teka, I kasi hadiah kecil2an.

Ni corat coret skit. Tadi beli air mineral, nak masak buat air susu si piya ni. 500ml tu RM4.50 ok. Oh lupa I duk hotel. Pastu tadi tengah tolak stroller jalan2 tepi swimming pool ada orang nak berkenalan. Dia ingat I tolak adik/ anak kakak ke. Apakahhhh?

Ok la nak strolling down the white sanded beach with Hafiyya. Ewah white la sgt. Tapi serious cantik ye pantai2 di Pantai timur ni termasuk di PCB (ayat amik hati husband). Cantik2. Ikhlas ni.

Rugi tak bawak bikini dengan pario. Takleh2 nanti kena kutuk cam Fashah Sandha. Hahahahah. Gurau je uols.

Ada beza ke?

I went to the Genting last week just to have a short break. Wah short break tu, padahal bukan hari2 cuti ke bagi aku? We stayed at Awana Genting Hotel, tempat nostalgia ni. Nostalgia tempat selalu meeting time zaman bekerja dulu, pastu lepas kawin selalu gak naik turun Genting and will surely bermalam kat sini. Tak suka duk kat atas Genting tu, cam busuk je. Eh tu pendapat aku je la hehe.

Ni la bilik dia, katil kecik tu dia bagi.

Hotel seemed quite clean and well maintained. Kami duduk di 21st floor of the tower and the view was really good mengadap padang golf. The room had two comfortable queen beds and the attached washroom was clean. The day we arrived it was raining and weather was pretty cool but we still had to switch on the air-conditioner, saje nak feeling duk oversea.

Kat atas tu agak merimaskan, it was the crowd, too packed & no way one could enjoy bersiar2 tolak stroller sambil menghirup udara segar. This may not be the ideal vacation location especially during peak season, so packed with people coming and going rasa macam duduk kat airport.

Seperti biasa tak banyak picture percutian ni dapat dikongsi sebab rasa pic2 tersebut adalah koleksi peribadi (padahal malas nak resize and upload).

Tapi nak kongsi pic percutian di Awana tahun 2007 and pic baru2 ni, Dec 2010. Ada beza ke?

Year 2007, baru lepas pantang 3 bulan.

Year 2010, baby 3.5 months.

Sila komen yang baik2 je ye, coz truth hurts. Muahahaha.

Terompah oh terompah

Misi pergi Melaka selain nak makan adalah nak cari terompah. Tak tau apesal berkenan sangat dengan terompah melaka ni. Terpengaruh dengan cerita 'Terompah Biru' lakonan Catriona Ross and Zainal Alam. Telemovie shown on Astro Ria in 2007, produksi citer Julie Dahlan kot. Mati la kantoi layan drama Julie Dahlan kan, hahahah.

We found one clog shoe shop in Jonker Walk. Surf internet kata you'll see lots of these clog-making shops here. Aku nampak satu kedai ni je. Rabun kot.

Gigih ok mengah2 aku saie kat situ. Ye la, we can easily get a pair of normal shoes everywhere. But I bet if you could not easily get a pair of hand-made wooden terompah siap with macam2 design yang sangat comfy.

Tuan tanah di depan kedai. Nyampah plak tgk berdiri cam tiang.

Fridge magnet terompah

Macam2 design and motif corak ada. Pilih je design kasut and motif pastu dia leh customise ikut size. Cakap je korang nak yang crafted (ukir) clog or painted clog, semua bisa di atur. Yang aku minat bukan design sangat, tapi heels nya. Sangat unik.

Kitorang ada ngintai2 gak uncle kat belakang tu tengah buat terompah, confirm la depa buat sendri, dari potong kayu, ukir dan paint, ukir heels and design penutup atas terompah tu.

Ni seksyen beaded shoes. I tak beli la sebab very the makcik2. Wah kutuk tu. Actually minat gak tapi harganya RM150 above. Tak sesuai la, baik beli Clarks ke berbaloi gak.

Rembatan untuk mak, diri sendri dan anak2 buah.

Menurut tuan kedai, they never/seldom craft or paint the second identical terompah again. Tu yang unik tu. So kalau korang jalan mana2, jarang la nak sama motif corak dengan orang lain.

Kasut tuan tanah. Cantekk tak? Harga RM55 setelah ditawar2. Amik corak simple je. I'm looking for colourful terompah tu tapi maybe not in this kedai. Tak kuasa dah nak jalan2 cari terompah kaler2 bagai, redha je la apa ada kan.

Korang ingat tak these clogs were traditionally used in wet places like toilets or kat surau2 tempat ambil wudhuk? The toilet slippers came in plain red, of course, sekarang dah berkembang pesat jadi macam2 design. Aku teringin gak beli terompah merah tu tuntuk kenang2an tapi husband kata gilo apo jauh2 datang Melaka beli terompah merah.

Saya bangga jadi anak Malaysia!

Contact lense

.

Boleh tak tetiba malas nak update pasal trip to Melaka? Banyak pic tapi biarlah ianya menjadi koleksi peribadi. Wahhhh. Padahal I malas resize. Bercerita tanpa pic adalah macam tak best je kan? Btw saya telah selamat sampai ke KL semalam jam 5 ptg.

Melaka trip

Istana tempat Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat bertarung, sekarang muzium

Bangunan stadhyus,

Biasalah otw back stop over sana sini. Had a late lunch at Sate Kajang, tak makan pun asam pedas sebab kenyang.

Contact lense

Nak cerita pasal contact lense. At first, I'm one of those people having a hard time placing contact lenses, so if you’re hesitating to do so for fear of being hurt, I understand what you’re going through. I had the same fears before I made a switch from glasses to contacts.


Tapi pasal nak lawa punya pasal, and lagipun orang kata beauty if painful, redah je la. I start wearing it masa 18 tahun. Masa tu power tak banyak, tapi sekarang dah mencapai 400 power u. Rasa nak buat lasik ey surgery je. Ke tayah? Over je tauuu.

Glasses, cam makcik2 je bila pakai :(

Pengalaman pakai lense

Pergi Melaka ni, I forgot to bring the solution. Bukan kali ni je, banyak kali gak lupa bawak. Tension ok. So rendam dgn air je. So I figured that my soreness was just from dry eyes, due to the rendaman air.

Pernah jadi, I coughed like crazy and my eyes were teary that I lost one of my contact lense. Masa tu tengah meeting di Putrajaya di mana aku kena present something. So takkan sebelah pakai, sebelah tak pakai kan. sure mata jadi kero. Terpaksa teruskan presentation then I had to go back home because my vision sucks without my contact.

Coloured lense


Some people tend to think that matsalleh look pretty with lighter colored eyes, and that to be pretty, you had to have those eye colors, too. No la.

I personally don’t think anyone should have this kind of mindset. Yes, light colored eyes are definately gorgeous but dark colored eyes are just as beautiful. Sebab apa tau? Sebab I have a dark brown eyes hehehe. Tapi kan, I want to wear contacts in pure hazel or green, but i dont want people to think I'm fake. Rambut hitam mata hijau, ok ke? Tolong fashion consultant consult skit.

Consult, not insult. Heheheheh.

Melaka : Day 1

.

Hi, we have safely arrived Melaka yesterday at 4 pm. Meh nak cerita sikit ikut subtopic2 ni ye supaya anda tidak confuse and anda boleh lah skip mana2 sub topic yang bosan hehehe.

Otw to Melaka

• Bertolah jam 12 sebab hujan. Tunggu hujan abis baru gerak.

• We stopped over at Nilai untuk round2 tengok tempat kerja hubby dulu2 kala lepas dia grad. Hmm kasi can la dia nak mengimbas memori kan.

• We had lunch at badar lama Nilai, dulu situ ada jual nasi beriyani sedap tau, seems that they r not selling any now. So just makan apa ada, I had maggi goreng and hubby makan nasi goreng.

• We also stopped over at Seremban, round2 tengok skolah lama ku dulu situ ;) and round bandar mengimbau nostalgia.

Tempat penginapan di Melaka

I chose Holiday Inn Melaka sebab nak belanja husband sempena birthday dia esok (belanja guna duit dia, boleh?). So bilik full, yang available (and paling murah) is the room with 2 twin bed. Hentam je la janji boleh rehat and comfortable. Compared to other hotel in Melaka, hotel ni lah paling semenggah and baru.

For me this hotel was a great choice for our trip to Melaka. The staff were very friendly and willing to help with directions (kami sesat masa nak datang sini). Just to share ye, the rate we have to pay is RM265++ for one night.

We did not experience the hotel food since there were sooo many interesting and yummy choices in Melaka. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. Bilik kami mengadap city, yang mengadap selat Melaka dah habis. There is a hotel shuttle bus but we did not use it as it is only a short & interesting walk into town. Baik kami drive je.

Tea-break

Since aku dah lama sangat dalam kereta so kaki cramp tetiba. So for minum petang, hubby beli putu piring yang sangat sedap dan gebu di Melaka ni. He bought it at Ujong Pasir. Dia kata putu piring ni memang asal Melaka. Tipu dia tipu la aku.

Pic di google sahaja

Dinner

We had our dinner at Pernu, dekat2 la tu dengan Umbai. We have been here before, rasanya tempat ni kurang popular berbanding Umbai tapi rasanya sini lagi sedap tastenya. Ke aku je kata macam tu heheh?

To those who never been to Ikan Bakar Melaka (ada ke? ke semua dah biasa dah bak tempat main guli gitu), this place is actually out of the Melaka town already and it is on the way to Muar. There are many stalls here and me and hubby chose the one facing the sea and also the most crowded. Crowded2 biasanya sedap kan?

Servis cepat je and price adalah reasonable. We ordered ikan jenahak bakar, ketam sweet and sour sauce, fried sotong and grilled prawns. All this total up to only RM 77 for 2 person. Licin ye kawan2, membazir itu amalan syaiton bak kata hubby.

Closing

So that's about it on day 1. Day 2 akan muncul nanti, maybe anda akan muak tgk muka aku banyak sangat nanti heheh. Bubaiiiii.
.

Saya nak cuti! Melaka!

.
Dear all,

I'm going to historic Melaka today. Cuti2 Malaysia lagi :) Tengok sekarang traffic kurang je and blog pun banyak tak update sekarang sure ramai sedang bercuti kan.

Are there any highly-recommended places to visit and eat in Melaka? I takde nak apa sangat cuma teringin la nak cari terompah melaka. And reminder to myself, takleh la lasak2 sangat kan. Ni pun aku curi2 berjalan time parents gi oversea. Tidak harus kena syarahan.

Terompah

I'll try to update once dah sampai, di hotel the internet rate is RM24 per day. Tengok la tegar tak tegar :) Happy working to those working :)

Percutian 2 hari 1 malam

.

Hi kawan2 :) Wah wah wah buat je entry gedegang emo berbaur gembira terus cik adik Adia menghilang ye? Motif membahasakan diri sendri sebagai cik adik? It's been a while since my last update, so do you miss me? Kalau rindu tu maknanya kita sekapal la, sama2 suka merapu, happening, interesting dan gila2. Wah puji diri sendri nampak.*pang diri sendri*

Actually saya telah mencuti kan diri sendri bersama boyfriend tercinta (dear husband la tu bila lagi nak feeling muda remaja) di sebuah tempat peranginan di Pahang, Colmar Tropicale. Berangin la sangat. Panas je aku rasa, maklumlah pembawa budak kan. Aku beriya la bawak baju wool ada hood bagai kan, gagah gak la pakai kan. The wheather somewhat like having light air-conditioning outdoors seperti 24 celcius. Tak sejuk la tu kan?

We stayed in the one bedroom suite walaupun duk berdua, leh main kejar2 kan bilik besar ni. Eh gurau je. The room of course was quite spacious and comfortable, with a king-sized bed would have been better suited to the room.

Memandangkan masa kami nak park di basement tu di depan tu adalah lori yang supply ayam, berjenama syarikat Hen Hen, kami adalah agak was2 untuk makan ayam atau daging di hotel itu. Tetiba kena jadi vegetarian di negara sendiri kan? So soloution nya kitorang had a late lunch di Bentong! Sejam gak la dari Colmar tu kan. Makan nasi ayam yg best di Bentong. Nasib best, tidak mau aku maki sebab perjalanan pergi balik 2 jam. Cam tak berbaloi je kan

Tapi esok paginya we dined at one of the restaurant. Amik buffet, RM35 sekepala. Mahal gak tu untuk makanan yang tak berpa banyak. No meat, lain my husband makan je la. Aku tengok makcik2 dan pakcik2 relaks je, ye la dorang tak tengok lori ayam tu. * nanges*

Makanan sedap ye, I duk 2 kali ulang makan kewtiau + grilled tomato. Sedap. Yang lain aku tatau sebab aku tak adventurous bab2 makanan ni selepas tengok lori ayam itu. Rasa loya skit di tekak.

Jalan2, tak jalan la sangat kat situ sebab aku takleh jalan banyak. Dalam takleh jalan banyak tu kira BANYAK la aku jalan, siap ke Bentong (for lunch) dan Janda Baik (time otw to Colmar). So kat atas tu hanya berjalan ke Japanese Garden.


Overall its a nice place for relaxing if you need to get out from KL with a very nice decor. Its pastel colours really made our stay very relaxing and romantic. Aku rasa nak deco rumah sendri concept camni je baru la terasa duk oversea kan.

Sorry la tak banyak pic sebab malas nak resize. Ni pun I hentam je tak rezise. Lantak la janji upload. Ala korang bukan nak tengok muka aku sangat kan, dapat tengok perut jadi la kan hehehe. Ilusi optik je tu, baju tebal pastu feeling2 pegang perut kan. Wah masih mau menafikan.

So till then, if I'm rajin enough, I will update more about the trip. Eh bukan dah abis update ke? Tata titi tutu.

.

Fly me to Polaris

Wah tajuk. Dulu masa tengok cerita ni, mati2 aku ingat Polaris tu kat Poland. Lemah tul ilmu Sains masa tu (skrg pun). In case you are wondering, Fly me to Polaris is a chinese love story yesterday lakonan Cecilia Cheung an Richie Ren. Berkurun dah cerita ni, tahun 1999. Pelakon pun dah kertu.

Actually tu aku bercadang nak buat tajuk Fly me to London. Mati la kena cop berlagak nanti hehehe. Saje je buat mukadimah panjang lebar. Well my latop needs a rest so am using my sister's laptop sambil menggodek2 (hishhh) and I found this pic.

Terus jadi rinduuuuuu. That was during my trip to UK December 2007 eh? Fly me to anywhere pls. I need a vacation.

Apa ingat orang stress kerja je perlu cuti ke?

Tamparuli

Alamak I lupa nak update. Hehehe. Sure korang ternanti2 kan. Wah ternanti la sangat.

Hari ni berjalan ke Taman Kinabalu, Kundasang & Ranau. On our way there, we stopped at Tamparuli, a small town of Tuaran for us to bergambar di Jambatan. Jambatan Tamparuli ni I ingat sebab Marsha (AF) suka nyanyi lagu dia kan. Tamparuli takde mende pun, the only attraction is the hanging bridge la kan.

Antara pic yang dapat di paste sepanjang trip ini. Sorry ye takleh paste banyak2. Adalah dicadangkan untuk view pic Jambatan di sini (credit to tuan punya blog). Ok la Jambatan ni.

Till then, babai :)

Off to Kota Kinabalu

I'm off for a long weekend to Labuan & KK where I'll stuff myself with few activities such as short trip to Brunei and few other places (wah macam banyak je masa), and of course... EAT EAT EAT. Eh apa best makan eh kat KK?

My flight delayed for 1 hour. Cheh. Pic sebagai bahan bukti hehe.

I'll be updating the blog here and there over the weekend, so stay tuned for dispatches from me. Hehe kali ni serious ok I'll update whenever I want, eh, whenever I'm free. And please do share your favorite Labuan or KK hotspots with me! Toce :)
